These normally live in /usr/src/include.  If your source tree doesn't
have .../include, it's rather seriously broken.  Perhaps you picked up
a source tree broken by the sup that deleted lots of stuff?

No clue.

libterm, I think.  The problem is that your <curses.h> is out-of-date;
go to lib/libcurses, do "make && make install", or even just do
"make -n install" and retype the curses.h install command by hand.
Then go back and redo the build in libterm.

libg++ and libgnumalloc are built from gnu/lib, not lib.  libgcc is
built as part of gcc, in gnu/usr.bin/gcc2.  libfl I don't recognize.

I think you'll find that the last-made mount is the one that takes
effect.

You don't really want to in general; imagine

/sources/src on /usr/src type null
<above>:/var/src on /usr/src type union

More likely the unionfs code in the kernel deadlocking with itself;
there's no reason why user-land code would infinite loop because of
this.

No ideas from me.
